    Yet we can't get even some crumbs from the government. 🙄

    Need somewhere to put the crumbs first. How about we wait to see what transpires mid year when the next stage of the Caulfield project is due to be announced.

    "Miles away"? Caulfield Racecourse is right next to a train station with the unsurprising name of Caulfield Station. It also has tram lines at both its northern and southern ends.

    As to Paul Guerra's supposed lack of football experience, why should this matter? Do we expect our hospitals to be run by doctors? Do we expect our courts to be run by lawyers? Do we expect the wholesale fish market to be run by a fisherman? I could go on...

    I believe this was in reference to Hawthorn's Dingley base, which sits in the void between the Frankston and Dandenong/Pakenham/Cranbourne lines which diverge beyond Caulfield.

    Tonight's game raised an interesting grammatical problem.

    "No Bontempelli; No Bulldogs."

    Is basically sound. Or at least accepted as a convention. But...

    "Yes Bontempelli; Yes Bulldogs."

    T'is a weird one.

    Nice on - I guess here "no" is being used as a determiner, as in "not any" or "absence of", not as an exclamation to denote a negative response. "Yes" is not the opposing determiner for no - instead we could go with something like

    "Absent Bont; absent Bulldogs"

    versus

    "Present Bont; present Bulldogs."
